How do I know I should break up with my boyfriend or girlfriend?

You should never be with someone who makes you feel like less of a person. Anyone who makes you feel down, abused or as if you need to cause harm to yourself or others is no one to be with. That person doesn't deserve you or your time.

Well if they don't try to help you in time of need they don't try to change important things for you if they don't care or act like they don't if they act immature then there not the right person for you this may sound self fish but some times you need to think about what's best for you.

Face to face is the best way to do it. Tell them why you're breaking up with them, in a way that doesn't drop the bomb on them. Give them closure, don't leave them hanging as to why you wanted to break up with them.

When you don't enjoy anymore being with him/her and the things you dislike are more than the things you like

If your boyfriend/girlfriend controls you way too much, doesn't give you freedom, doesn't allow you to spend your time doing what you like to do, basically, if they keep you from opening your virtues, to what you really like in this world, they aren't worth you.

If he/she is abusing your physical and emotional distress. And also if he's/she's is loving you only for fame.

Ask yourself:Do you love them? Do they help you be a better person? Make you happy? Or the opposite? Do you find yourself wanting to be away from them? Uncomfortable with affection? Wanting to be just friends, or not even know them? Do they make you feel small? Do you simply not feel that connection? In my experience, if you don't love them, it is simply best to let them go, but, before doing anything, look over your feelings. Consider: How will I feel once I let them go? How will I feel if I stay with them? And then decide. Know your feelings, so you can make a decision you won't regret.

If he isn't treating you right, cheating on you, doesn't respect you, physically or mentally abusing you.

Face to face. never break up over the phone or through text, it's cowardly and hurts ten times less.

Look for red flags or signs such as abusive behaviour, negativity or making you feel unloved and uncared for, lack of support for you and your relationship.
